re: What is the allure of going to golf events?

You appreciate their skills a lot more after seeing them in person. It's worth going just for that.

Yeah, following your favorite golfer around is fun.

Sitting on a cool par 3 and watching them knock down pins is cool.

Just walking around a course that you'll probably never see otherwise....just enjoying being outdoors in general.

Hearing the roar of the gallery when something good happens.

It certainly isn't for everybody but going to other sporting events isn't either.
